Eisenstein’s private narrative of the breast cancer in her life is honest and compelling, and her theoretical analysis of the factors caught up in breast cancer is provacative. “Manmade Breast Cancers” opend my eyes and gave me a thorough education in both the biology and the genetics of breast cancer, and the role of the pharmacutical-medical-industrial complex in establishing dominant plotting patterns about the disease. Eisenstein proposes that we look beyond the dominant discourse to the myriad social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of the breast cancer experience.
As I read “Manmade Breast Cancers,” I found myself simultaneously addicted to the author’s private tale, and also thrown off by the disjointed addition of the feminist theorizing embedded within it. It was as if each lonely would have worked, but together they did not everlastingly read smoothly. This may possibly be for two reasons: one, the because novelist is more experienced with theorizing, and two becasue the topic of her narrative is so intimate and emotional that the reader has to switch gears to read the theory. But, even as the combination of private tale and scholarly theory is stylistically a bit akward, their coexistance make the author’s top, and draw the reader into the thesis of the book in more ways than one. ( As I got used to it, I kind of liked it!)
Eisenstein’s discussion of the body brought me to a different awareness of my own body, and her candid look at her emotions is admirable and unique. I highly urge this book to increase our awarness of the many factors caught up in any disease.

I just had the privalege of seeing Dr. Eisenstein address at an annual women’s symposium at my college. Her theories about the politics of breast cancer are truly profound and bestow a new way of looking at a disease which affects the lives of so many women. Every woman should read this book, this is serious theme that cannot be ignored.
